About Me

I fell in love with Jackson Hole when first introduced to the area by the Butcher family. When I decided to spend the summer of '11 out here in JH, a former Pingry athlete, Katie Occhipinti, suggested I blog the adventure. I had no idea what a blog was but Katie O set the whole thing up and got me on my way. Last summer was a tremendous experience. The blog details all the great fun I shared with friends from June '11 - Oct. '11. Even before I left to head back to SRQ, I knew I wanted more of JH. I am now back in JH for "Adventure Summer Round Two!" Many friends have encouraged me to continue the blog this summer ...... so here we go! I arrived to town on June 12th and immediately felt at home. I am looking forward to another summer of hiking, biking and visits from friends. I once again look forward to sharing this experience with all of my friends who have planned to visit me out here. I also look forward to sharing the experience with my friends who follow this blog. Enjoy the pictures and the adventure. Happy summer to everyone!

Triangle X Ranch Celebrates Their 85th Anniversary




Tonight I enjoyed the 85th Anniversary Party at the Triangle X Ranch.  The Turner family threw a very nice "ranch style" party and many of the locals were in attendance.  To learn more about the history of the ranch, check out the following website http://www.trianglex.com/history-triangle-x-guest-ranch

They also had stagecoach rides for the little kids and any of the big kids who wanted to join the fun!

The party was a huge success and I enjoyed myself greatly.  As I left the party, I figured that my excitement was over for the day.  I should have never doubted the animals of Jackson Hole.  I wasn't even a mile down the road from the ranch when I saw many cars pulled over on the side of the road.  Such a site always means that there is some type of wildlife near by that the people are taking pictures of. I pulled over and saw a momma bear and her two cubs.  It was awesome and very exciting.
